BLACKPINK Members Launch Solo Comebacks Amid 10th Anniversary Celebrations

In 2026, BLACKPINK members are launching individual solo comebacks, marking a significant period for the group as they celebrate their 10th anniversary. This wave of solo releases, following the establishment of individual labels by some members, is generating considerable buzz among fans eager to see each artist's unique musical direction. The solo activities are seen as a way to address fan concerns and showcase their distinct identities after a period of group-related discussions.

Lisa is set to release her new solo single 'SaWaDiKa' globally on September 3, 2026, her first new solo music in 1 year and 7 months. The track incorporates her Thai heritage, with the title meaning "Hello" in Thai, and teasers featuring Muay Thai boxer concepts and other Thai cultural elements. Meanwhile, Jennie is preparing a new EP album, targeted for release in late August 2026 under OA Entertainment, following her solo single 'Less than a Lover' released in July. Rosé is reportedly working on a large-scale global project in Los Angeles, focusing on collaborations and a full album, hence her absence from this immediate solo lineup.

Local bloggers highlight that these solo endeavors are particularly meaningful as they allow each BLACKPINK member to express their individual artistry and reconnect with their roots, as seen with Lisa's 'SaWaDiKa'. Despite initial fan concerns regarding the group's 10th-anniversary event and related incidents, the members' commitment to their solo projects and their direct apologies have helped reassure fans. The anticipation for these diverse solo releases underscores the members' evolving careers and their continued global impact.
